Did Obama eliminate a law, making it easier for a person with mental health problems to get an AR?
It's not clear, and probably unlikely, that he would have met either of the criteria laid out in that law Trump nixed.
When Obama was President he had several chances to enact legislation banning certain guns,ammo amounts and clips. He did absolutely nothing when he had the chance....just like the guy in charge now.....plenty of blame to go around. Just pointing out the obvious.
I think there were bills introduced in ‘13 that were pretty substantial backed by the WH. He couldn’t get the deals made, true. But you guys aren’t blaming Trump for his failures to repeal Obamacare either, you’re blaming the minority party....so......how’s that work exactly?
"The regulation, finalized in December under Obama's tenure, required the Social Security Administration to disclose information quarterly to the national gun background check system about certain people with mental illness.
While the list of eligible mental disorders is long -- ranging from anxiety to eating disorders to schizophrenia -- those who would have been reported by the agency had to meet two main criteria: a) They were receiving full disability benefits because of a mental illness and couldn't work and b) they were unable to manage their own benefits, thus needing the help of a third party to do so."
My original quote was from this article, with words changed/stripped down. I wanted to see if KKKountry would argue against CNN.

Obama had the first two years of his presidency with a supermajority. He could've passed anything he wanted. Instead, he gave us a bill we had to pass in order to read in the middle of the night, that did nothing that it promised... except cover preexisting conditions and fill up Medicaid rolls.
Oh you guys would have stood for that I bet. He had to save the economy from free falling, but you’re right Obama’s failed to get this done......so has Congress on both sides. Right? Or are you all about putting blame on big ears and the jackass party?
Nope, Congress and Trump have failed to enact a majority of what they should. On the other hand, Democrats are being bigger obstructionists than even the Republicans were. They won't even vote for something they were pushing for.
